He kept pushing this one shoe on me and I kept telling him I don't like it . I said "It wasn't comfortable" he said what do you mean these shoes are comfortable " He then became upset and changed his attitude. He was being so shady about the other shoes. Also his breath smelled horrible, as if not brushed and smoking. Even if I liked the shoes I would have not bought it because of customer service.

She and the other male employee who has black curly hair refused to help me out and dismissed me. Courtney said, "We cannot help you out. You cannot exchange the shoes. Sorry" in a VERY RUDE manner. Just to let you know that I did not have a good experience with your employees. This made me feel very uncomfortable dealing with the DSW employees at the Lakeview store. Especially when there were other customers waiting in line. I felt very embarrassed. This happened on 5:35 pm Sunday, 7/14/2024. Joseph searched on the DSW website, it says that "DSW accepts returns after 90 days with a receipt of shipping invoice for a merchandise credit. This applies regardless of the original payment method." I have been a DSW customer for some time. I love the store, the products that DSW sells. However, this experience shows a stark and severe contrast to my previous experiences. As a loyal customer of DSW, this surprised me. It really did.

I called the store, and the supervisor said, "Bring it in, and we'll make it right." When I got there, someone else said there was nothing that could be done.

Diffident, rude, and uniformed about their own merchandise, these guys couldn't work any harder to not sell shoes. The place was deserted on a Saturday afternoon when I walked in and out without a purchase. I asked for help, but the guy up front was uselessly self absorbed in a magazine and couldn't be bothered to get up. I asked him if they owned the building as I figured they mustn't need to make the rent through sales. He said yes and then bitched about the city not letting him demo the the facade due to a Historic Landmark designation and I left as I wanted shoes and not an earful of drivel from a bitter man... Weird, useless waste of time and space. Avoid. read more

I wear Dickes brand pants for work as a form of uniform. There stock is always good and the stuff is eager to help. Looking over a few of the reviews suggesting the sales team of profiling is untrue. I found the staff to be helpful and knowledgeable. They sell work clothes. I would think you do not need to browse around when it comes to that sort of thing. Navel blue pants, size out the door.

Erik is awesome, it's like bringing your fashionable friend to go shopping with you, except that your friend has an intimate knowledge of the store's inventory and also happens to be a professional tailor. He pulled out a suit that I would not have considered on my own, but it turned out to be the PERFECT SUIT! It only needed a hem, which he did himself, pressed it and put it in a garment bag, and I picked it up a couple days later. The whole experience felt very comfortable. If you have social anxiety about asking for help in stores (not that I have any experience with that of course....), rest assured that I felt completely at ease here. And after several weeks of unsuccessful shopping in department stores, it was such a relief to find something that works. The shop is really cool, it's like what I imagine some fashion magazine's basement might look like. A little disorganized with hidden gems everywhere you look. There is a whole selection of sequined blazers that I'm dying to try on. I definitely plan to come back!
